(Chadron)-Each year at the Dawes County Courthouse, the community is treated to a beautiful display of Christmas trees that have been decorated by area organizations and businesses. Volunteers donate their time to help welcome visitors to the Winter Festival of Trees each year as well.

For those who may be interested in decorating a tree for their business or organization, those in charge of the Festival have announced that the deadline for entries has now been extended, allowing a little extra time to gain more entries for the holiday extravaganza.

Anyone wishing to enter a tree can do so by contacting Emily Klein at 432-4957, or stopping by Morford’s Decorating Center. Completed forms are due by November 15.
